Chapter 13: I'm About to Die! (2)
Si Yunshang recalled the day when she bid farewell to Bai Lian.
The last time, she left silently because she was still Si Yunshang and Bai Lian was still referred to as "Chen Lu".
But things were different this time.
She is both Si Yunshang and Zhi He.
"Fairy Bai Lian."
Si Yunshang smiled as she interrupted Bai Lian's conversation with her younger Martial Sisters.
Stare~
Xiao Jinse fixed her gaze on Si Yunshang.
I sense that something is amiss with you.
Si Yunshang was nonchalant as she spoke, "It's been days since we've talked. I'd like to find a peaceful spot where we can have a conversation."
The system task appeared again.
The first task was to turn down Si Yunshang, and the reward was the secret medicine, "Flowing Water in Spring."
Si Yunshang smiled even brighter. "Could it be that Fairy Bai Lian has become so heartless that she no longer wishes to acknowledge her old friend from a distance?"
Bai Lian was left speechless for a moment.
Xiao Jinse puffed out her cheeks as well.
This is a form of moral kidnapping!
Even Su Youwei, who was concerned about her inner demons, became furious.
What's with the sudden appearance of a woman with purple hair?
How arrogant!
Yu Ying waved her hand and said, "Elder Martial Sister, there's no need to worry about me."
What?
Xiao Jinse and Su Youwei both turned to look at Yu Ying.
Why are you acting like this? Are you planning to betray us?
"I…"
Yu Ying crossed her fingers nervously.
Bai Lian cleared her throat hastily and said, "Since Miss Si has invited me, shall we take a walk through the back mountain?"
Si Yunshang looked like a Demon Woman in that aspect.
Bai Lian decided to separate her quickly so that she wouldn't have a confrontation with the younger Martial Sisters and avoid fighting.
Come on.
Bai Lian let out a helpless sigh.
Let her handle the unpleasant tasks.
Her slogan is…
Please don't fight!
"Good."
Si Yunshang followed Bai Lian happily to the back of Qiongming Peak.
The forest behind the mountain was incredibly peaceful.
In early autumn, the wind swept across the sky, causing a rustling sound.
The blue-green waves formed by the trees appeared to be gentle.
Si Yunshang still wore gorgeous clothes like a lotus from heaven, but this time it gave Bai Lian a distinct impression.
Si Yunshang gained more confidence.
Bai Lian was at a loss for words.
"I'm not Chen Lu."
Does that work?
Si Yunshang was the first to speak.
She described her experience in the Lingxu sect in detail, which included watering flowers, chatting with Nishang, and then proceeding to water more flowers.
Bai Lian recalled that she had stated her desire to return to the Lingxu sect and reclaim everything that was hers.
However, it appears that achieving this goal is not an easy feat.
"Certainly, but things will improve gradually."
Si Yunshang spoke.
No matter how challenging it gets, just thinking about Bai Lian fills her with motivation.
If she is unable to overcome the Lingxu sect, how can she face and surmount all obstacles to be with Bai Lian?
Bai Lian's younger Martial Sisters weren't the only ones who tried to stop her!
Si Yunshang covered her mouth and chuckled. "Thank goodness you didn't come to the Lingxu sect with me, Miss Chen Lu, otherwise you would have ended up accompanying me to water the flowers."
However.
I don't feel lonely when I'm with another person.
Even when nothing can be done, the mere act of staying together and sharing each other's warmth can be romantic.
Si Yunshang lifted her eyebrows and asked, "Miss Chen Lu, can I ask you a question again?"
"Please go ahead and ask," Bai Lian nodded.
Slowly, Si Yunshang asked, "Miss Chen Lu, if I were to become the sect leader of the Lingxu sect, would you be willing to return there with me?"
As expected, it's still the same problem.
Her answer last time was no because she couldn't bear to let go of Shifu and her younger Martial Sisters.
Now her answer will be more resolute.
Because she not only couldn't bear to let go but also considered Shifu and her Martial Sisters as integral parts of her life.
Yes, I like them.
That's pretty cool.
So, she could relate to Si Yunshang's feelings.
Si Yunshang let out a sigh and Bai Lian responded, "I understand what you're saying."
As a matter of fact, she understood.
Miss Chen Lu is no longer here.
As people grow, Bai Lian becomes more like herself.
When she saw Bai Lian anxiously holding the internal demon, she thought it would be best to turn around and leave immediately.
But that was just a thought.
"Regardless of who you become in the future, whether it's Chen Lu or Bai Lian, I will continue to ask this question repeatedly."
Si Yunshang revealed her determination directly.
Her initial plan was to take Bai Lian back directly, however, Bai Lian didn't give her the opportunity.
Despite her hard work, she could not manage to create a gap between herself and Bai Lian.
What should she do now?
Should she just give up?
She couldn't do so.
How would she use the secret method to improve her cultivation base and run to the Duxian sect if she could?
"Bai Lian."
Si Yunshang suddenly started coughing up blood.
"Are you hurt?" asked Bai Lian, surprised.
Si Yunshang shook her head and replied, "I'm fine, I just need to rest."
"That's nonsense!"
Bai Lian fixed her gaze on Si Yunshang.
She wiped the blood from Si Yunshang's mouth with a cloth and proceeded to use Thousands of Flowers to heal her.
The only issue is that its effect is not very potent.
Si Yunshang continued to shake her head and said, "Don't worry about it. It's not a wound that affects my cultivation base. Bai Lian, can you fulfill my wish?"
Bai Lian halted and asked, "What is your wish?"
Si Yunshang looked puzzled and said, "I want to offer myself to you."
What do you intend to say?
Si Yunshang took hold of Bai Lian's hand and slowly drew it back.
I see!
Bai Lian was frightened and quickly pulled her hand back.
This is really attractive, though.
But…
Bai Lian took a deep breath in.
The system task appeared again!
[Task 1: Fulfill Si Yunshang's wishes (Reward: The Great Sun Scripture)]
[Task 2: Politely decline Si Yunshang's request (Reward: Soft Skill+1)]
The Great Sun Scripture's value is equivalent to that of the finest Spirit Tool.
It seems to be quite dangerous.
Bai Lian made a determined decision to choose Task 2.
"Miss Si, you are severely injured!"
She produced various medical pills from her chest.
"This, this, and this… wait!"
Bai Lian retrieved a bottle filled with transparent liquid.
This is not it.
Si Yunshang obtained it and held onto it, asking Bai Lian, "What is this?"
May I describe it as a bottle of confidential medicine (aphrodisiac)?
"These are the byproducts of unsuccessful alchemy!" explained Bai Lian.
Do you honestly expect me to believe that?
"If it was given to me, then it must be mine," Si Yunshang asserted.
"…"
"If you tell me what it is, I'll return it to you," Si Yunshang offered.
"I…"
Bai Lian was about to give an explanation when Si Yunshang abruptly interjected, "Your Master is coming."
Turning around, Bai Lian spotted An Lan standing at the intersection.
"Alas," Si Yunshang sighed. "Since I have been refused again, I won't trouble you any further. Let's bid farewell here."
No, you should give it back to me first!
Si Yunshang didn't care much, so she flew away gracefully.
Soon.
When Bai Lian was about to do something, An Lan suddenly grabbed her chest and sat on the ground.
"Master!"
Bai Lian rushed over quickly.
An Lan's face had turned pale, almost as if she had gone through a massive blood loss. Speaking in an intermittent voice, she said, "I…I feel like I'm going to die soon."
"Master!"
Bai Lian quickly reached out to support An Lan's back.
How could our Shifu possibly be hurt?
Does her…
Bai Lian had a foreboding feeling.
Has her menstrual cycle started yet?
She was about to say something when An Lan's head tilted, and she fainted immediately.
Panicking, Bai Lian ran to the cave with An Lan in her arms, unable to think of anything else.
The mountain road was long, and Bai Lian was filled with regret.
Master must have tried to improve her strength to help me just now, leading to her present condition.
It's entirely my fault!
As for me…
Bai Lian clenched her lips, feeling her breath becoming labored.
But in her anxious state, she failed to notice that An Lan's eyelids twitched slightly.
